I remember this one from that one episode of House.

So when you do a French braid in hair, you start off with three small sections. Every time you fold over the outer sections, you incorporate more hair into those sections. This differs from a normal braid, which doesn't increase the size of the three parts of the braid as you go along.

French braiding flesh would require a lot more flesh. Also it wouldn't look nearly as tidy because the other ends of the flesh (those not in the braid) are not attached to anything (i.e. a scalp) so it would be a loose tangled mess.

There's easier ways to make something grotesque and cursed.

Gatekeeping the evolution of language: the type of internet comment everyone loves the most.

(This comment is sarcasm. Your gatekeeping adds nothing of value to the conversation.)

Yeah, don't tell us what to do!

TIL!

That said, reading the Wikipedia article, there very much were tapes made for repairing ducts.

It was commonly used in construction to wrap air ducts.[20] Following this application, the name "duct tape" came into use in the 1950s, along with tape products that were colored silvery gray like tin ductwork. Specialized heat- and cold-resistant tapes were developed for heating and air-conditioning ducts. By 1960 a St. Louis, Missouri, HVAC company, Albert Arno, Inc., trademarked the name "Ductape" for their "flame-resistant" duct tape, capable of holding together at 350–400 °F (177–204 °C).[21]

Sorry to be clear, I am not saying Linux sucks. I just don't have an opinion on desktop operating systems. And I was tired of every other post on my feed being about operating systems instead of the dumb internet pictures that I love and crave.

This is hilarious.

My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he's subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don't need to tell you that.) I'm basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I'm a normie and I just don't care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.

Hey, I work in QA (not in the video game field though.) However, I can tell you there is a difference between "QA missed" and "deadlines required prioritizing other fixes."

One implies that the employees are bad at their job. Which is almost certainly not the case. I haven't played Starfield (or even clicked through to your link lol) but presumably this is something blatantly obvious. And I'm sure the QA team was frustrated letting a glaring known issue through.

QA finds issues but it's up to development teams to fix them, and strict deadlines will always hamper delivering a flawless product. But deadlines are driven by management and until the industry changes (i.e. don't preorder games) we're going to keep seeing these problems.

But as a QA professional, please don't blame us ✌️
